Cranes at a gas works near Berlin, 1937

Beyond mounds of freshly dug earth, the lattice jibs of several cranes swing above the long buildings and gantries of a gas works, one lifting a load on its cable; steam and smoke drift from a chimney, and a tall striped smokestack stands at the edge of the picture. Such works turned coal into town gas for the capital's kitchens and street lamps, and their by-products fed the chemical industry of the Four-Year Plan.
